In Japan, pigs go "buu buu" and dogs go "wan wan!" And ducks don't quack...they say "gaa gaa!" With this entertaining, cross-cultural version of "Old McDonald's Farm," children four to ten replace Western barnyard sounds with their Japanese counterparts — a fun, memorable lesson in a foreign culture and language. They learn Japanese translations of animal names, explore the basics of kanji by tracing the characters, and sing along with the cassette's professional sound track — original words and music on Side A, try-it-yourself karaoke version on Side B.
